Boris has a four stage plan. https://twitter.com/NorthmanTrader/status/1237393224714481667?s=20 Time is a closed loop, first as farce then as tragedy.

It's a bit different to the Standard American 'erb, probably because upper-class English became universally non-rhotic way before general English did or the haitch hypercorrection happened, so it's softer.

Ugh. One of the neighbourhood cats decided that a small 9cm plastic flower pot was a good litter tray substitute. So it's obviously tried to squat over it and mostly missed. And it's raining. So now I have the nice job of cleaning up a plastic pot with a sloppy catshit drippled down the side and over some pebbles. Give me COVID-19...

Lungboy posted:From what I can gather, AI. I would like to correct that tweet and say that the govt is playing russian roulette with itself. I wonder what the constitutional precedent is if the govt benches are all quarantined/in hospital/dead? Can Labour pass a vote of no confidence assuming they have enough surviving MPs and run a coronavirus coup? Re: Results - it depends on where you are. For my centre the inpatients are getting results in 24 hrs, others in 48 (I think) and for those hospitals shipping samples in it's 4-6 days. Which means testing has very little utility in guiding containment at this time unless they can ramp it up rapidly. At this stage the UK is starting to look like Wuhan mid-January and we are going to progress to Italy since the UK govt is incapable of magically summoning hospitals out of the ground. If everything is shut down now maybe we can mitigate some of that damage but lol if Westminster clowncar manages to make any meaningful decisions. Jel Shaker posted:If covid is as bad as it is I’d expect a fair number of by-elections coming soon Someone should take the age of MPs and map it against the CFR data.

WhatEvil posted:I just went out to the local Chinese supermarket in Ottawa, and they didn't seem to be short of anything. Lots of people there wearing facemasks but eh. Canadians do love weird crisps flavours. I am on board with 'all dressed', I am NOT on board with dill pickle crisps. Here in BC btw health officials are providing daily updates on the news and daily advice, today it's advising social distancing particularly if any illness symptoms, recommending against cruise travel and recommending that everyone seriously consider whether international travel anywhere makes sense right now. What's the update situation like in the UK?

goddamnedtwisto posted:It was midway through the V1* campaign and the first V2s** had just started dropping, and they all lived within a quarter of a mile of the docks, so drat right she is. I also wonder what the skull-measuring mob would make of this lot, because with the black-and-white picture and the hop-picking tans you could easily mistake it for a modern east end school in terms of ethnic mix, but these are pretty much all Irish kids. My nan was a little girl living in Chelmsford back during the blitz. Apparently one day they heard a V1 stop directly overhead and her mum (who was carrying her) threw her down the basement stairs to get her to safety. Thankfully a strong wind blew the thing into a farmer's field, but apparently it was quite close. She also remembers her and a group of other schoolchildren being strafed by a low flying bomber, gently caress Nazis

I am on board with 'all dressed', I am NOT on board with dill pickle crisps. mostly telling people to wash their hands and not panic, and saying they might do some advice at some point (apparently when Dominic Cummings decides it will be best) at least they backed off their plan to stop updating people on the number of infections honestly at this point, I think people panicking is doing more to promote self isolation than the government

Private Speech posted:One of the measures that some of the countries taking the crisis seriously have taken is banning the sale of those things to the public to prevent shortages, FWIW. the asian countries that actually know what they're doing are all wearing masks and ppe whenever they're outside. presumably since they're from countries that take it seriously they have this stuff already or are given it. my own experience dealing with the gov advice and phonelines on this is that its basically every man for himself as the government actively tries to get as many people infected as possible before doing anything i dunno if i gave the thread an update but me and my gf both have all the main symptoms and have been sick for a week and are going from cold symptoms to shortness of breath and dry coughs etc, hopefully not roni but it is here community spreading in our location. i've called 111, i've gone online, i've called scotlands special non-111 coronavirus helpline. ofc we aren't getting any tests but they also aren't even advising us to stay indoors ffs XMNN posted:

it's the "flatten the curve" bit, I think, after you've given up on keeping it to a limited outbreak I'd hope this is when they finally pull their heads out of their arses and start recommending self isolation for respiratory symptoms and social distancing, if they don't go the whole hog and lock everything down I should really ask my mum about it at some point

Judging by all the posts I'm seeing on Facebook from acquaintances talking about how it's just media hype and the flu kills more people, I'm guessing an optional quarantine will achieve jack poo poo.

I wonder what the constitutional precedent is if the govt benches are all quarantined/in hospital/dead? Can Labour pass a vote of no confidence assuming they have enough surviving MPs and run a coronavirus coup? Technically yes, but it would be extremely dodgy and all they could do with it is call a General Election in which they'd have to put their own seats up for grabs as well. I would expect an increased Tory majority if they tried. It would be much better to instead put through only some emergency regulations (including extending the Brexit transition period) before closing the house for non-essential business until the crisis ends and by-elections could safely be held.

i'm curious why no one is hitting the loving PANIC button and just shutting everything down to try and stop it. that will have to happen anyway like all those other countries so why not just do it instead of waiting for it to get inevitably worst? at the moment im making GBS threads liquid and feeling hot. my friend had the 'flu' for a few weeks and i think i caught it off him.
